The New Orleans Saints stood pat on their coaching staff for the most part during this off-season. That included head coach Dennis Allen after a disappointing season a year ago.
The organization believes in Allen and his staff. They think that a bounce-back campaign is coming that hopefully includes less injuries to key players. Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, one betting site believes that Allen is due for a solid season in New Orleans.
The Saints HC currently holds the third-best odds to win coach of the year next season.
This is certainly surprising when you consider the names around Allen.
Campbell is an ascending coaching star with a Lions team on the rise. Sean Payton is a coaching legend as Saints fans know quite well.
Matt Eberflus will have many new weapons in Chicago with the Bears. Kyle Shanahan is one of the brightest offensive minds of this generation.
Then, there's Allen. You cannot deny his defensive prowess. His unit will be very solid, but his head coaching abilities last year were questionable once again.
After his previous HC struggles with the Raiders, it is surprising to see him get this much credit for a potential resurgence this year for the Saints.
We will see if he can prove them right very soon, though.
